If this is a recurring issue, your paint finish will look like a teenagers face after a while. Have you thought about a car cover?

Shit. Turd. Dookie. Does it matter? You'll only be saying one of those when you get the bill for a repaint.

Get to it ASAP and use a lot of water and soap. Let the poop dissolve off the car because there is usually sand in it which will scratch. You didn't say what kind if bird but some birds (geese) have a tar like poop which is harder to remove. Keeping the car waxed before the bird poops will help as well.
